The Divorced Billionaire Heiress

Chapter 2182 Monster

Euan talked about their current joint project and suddenly thought of something else.

"Actually, I'm exploring another project, but I don’t know if it'll be successful.”

Nicole replied, "Oh? Tell me about it."

Euan clicked his tongue. He could not care less about the mask on his face and said, "I heard gossip from someone that a

hot spring has been dug out in Mount Baldwin. It’ll be profitable to build a hot spring resort there..."

Seeing his excited expression, Nicole smiled calmly.

"Gossip?"

Euan's eyes flickered.

"My younger brother is an avid rock climber and has gone to Mount Baldwin dozens of times. He told me about it when

he came back this time."

Nicole raised her eyebrows. "Is there a report from the relevant authorities?"

Euan laughed.

"If there was, it wouldn't be gossip anymore. It's just that it's in another province far away, so I'm not so sure. Ms.

Stanton, if you're interested, shall we go and check it out together one of these days? Even if it's not true, we can go for

a hike and relax!"

Nicole was not that interested in it at first, but she was a little moved by the hike.

It would be nice to bring along Clayton and Chatty on a vacation.

It was a last-minute plan, so it would be a hassle to go abroad, but going to another province was fine.

Nicole thought about it for a moment and agreed.

"Sure!"

They did not talk for long when Clayton called.

He came to pick Nicole up and was already at the entrance.

Nicole did not say much. She asked the staff to wrap up the treatment and went out with a radiant face.

Euan followed behind and said with a smile, "Ms. Stanton, your skin is flawless! Do you go abroad for medical treatment

regularly?"

Nicole raised her eyebrows, touched her face, and said with a smile," Natural beauty, I can't help it."

Although she knew that Euan’s compliment was exaggerated, any woman would be happy to hear it.

Just in time, Nicole saw Clayton standing at the door, looking tall and handsome.

Euan's eyes lit up, and he leaned forward to say, "No matter how many times I see Mr. Sloan, he just has that

natural glow. He's simply outstanding!" 1

Nicole’s lips twitched.

Although Euan was not a woman, Nicole still felt uncomfortable that someone was eyeing her husband.

"It's a pity that he’s not yours, so you shouldn't look at him so much."

Euan was stunned and watched her departing back.

"How petty..."

Nicole's pace was fast because she did not want Euan to greet Clayton.

Clayton immediately opened the door for her, and she went in.

He then went to the driver's seat and quickly drove away.

Euan was speechless as he thought, 'Do I look like a monster?'

In the car, Clayton saw that Nicole was laughing and asked, "What's the matter?"

Nicole thought of the hiking trip and told him about it.

"It’s not just for the hot springs. Let’s go on a hiking trip and bring along Chatty and Fischer!"

Clayton smiled. "Sure, it can be a short family getaway. But why must we bring Fischer with us?"

Nicole curled her lips. "You're so petty. I thought you liked Fischer. Didn't you raise him to be your future son-in-law?

Can you bear to separate those two for a few days?”

Clayton smiled helplessly.

"Sigh... If I weren't afraid that Chatty will meet a scumbag when she gets older, I wouldn't have allowed anyone to

get close to her. I'm teaching Fischer to treat her better now so that she won't get touched just because someone

did something nice for her."

Nicole agreed. "I think so too."

The two chatted until they returned to the Stanton Mansion.

It was Mr. Anderson's birthday, so everyone, except for Maverick, was there.

As the birthday boy, Mr. Anderson tried his best to cook a simple meal, but Floyd stopped him.

Thus, Kai and Julie went to the kitchen to cook while Aida and Grant made a cake and desserts.

Floyd caught a few fish himself and happily played chess with the butler.

When Nicole and Clayton arrived, everyone was almost done with their task.

Floyd glared at her with dissatisfaction.

"Why are you back so late?"

Clayton immediately took the blame and said, "Dad, I had a last-minute appointment that I couldn't turn down, so

we ran a little late."

As he said this, he took out the gift that he prepared earlier and handed it over to the butler. It was a box of high-

quality premium tea.

"Happy birthday, Mr. Anderson."

The butler looked at it and was so happy that he grinned from ear to ear.

'Thank you, Ms. Stanton and Mr. Sloan.”

Clayton always bought expensive gifts.

The butler was a tea connoisseur. This particular tea was grown from a thousand-year-old tree. Each year, only a

few grams were produced, so it was more expensive than gold.

Kai was busy running in and out of the kitchen. When he came out and saw the radiant Nicole, he was furious and

yelled at her.

"Hurry up and help out! Don’t think that you can get away with it!”

Clayton smiled. He immediately put down his things and rolled up his sleeves to go into the kitchen.

Nicole hurriedly stopped him.

"I’ll help. You can stay here. Chatty and Fischer will be back soon."

Clayton frowned. "But it's a mess inside. You..."

Nicole patted his chest and said, "Don't worry. If you go, my third brother will just boss you around!"

She winked at him. Clayton smiled and lowered his head to kiss her forehead.

"Okay then. You can come out if you’re tired."

Nicole nodded and ran in happily.

Floyd rolled his eyes and could not stand the sight of them being lovey- dovey in front of everyone as if they were alone!

How rude! i

He thought, 'Grant and Aida are still the most restrained."

Floyd subconsciously glanced at Grant and Aida, who were in the dining room.

He almost lost his temper when he saw them.

Grant looked at Aida dotingly and pinched her nose from time to time. He even smudged her face with the cream on the

table while Aida glared at him angrily.

Floyd rolled his eyes speechlessly.

The butler smiled and shook his head.

'This is good. Aida is pregnant now, so our house will be even livelier next year!"

Floyd muttered in a low voice, 'They all forget their father once they're married. How useless! My precious daughter is

also hopeless."

He glanced at Clayton, who was boiling water to make tea, and eased his expression.

"My son-in-law is still the best."

The butler nodded approvingly.

Floyd patted him on the shoulder.

'Thanks to your birthday, we can finally gather everyone! Otherwise, it'll be difficult to get all of them together."

The butler was speechless.

After a moment of silence, he coughed a few times.

"Chairman, it doesn't seem that difficult for you to call them back every once in a while for a lecture..."

Floyd said, "I have a legitimate reason. Look, Kai is married, but he's still in the headlines. Grant's wife is pregnant with

their second child, but he still goes on business trips..."

'You obviously miss them!"

The butler smiled, squinted his eyes, and saw through everything.

Floyd did not say a word.

Clayton came over with the brewed tea, and said with a smile, "Dad, I'll go and help out in the kitchen."

Floyd waved his hand.

"No need! It's too tiring!"

Kai, Julie, and Nicole, who just came out of the kitchen, were at a loss for words.

Was it not tiring for them too?
